I'll take that to assume you aren't paying for your own ticket, 
your own hotel expenses, etc. I wonder if you would feel 
differently about this if you had to pay for all these out of 
your own pocket. I'd be curious of the total expenses for DConf, 
all of the funds could be used to hire more developers. The pull 
request situation has improves significantly, I can only imagine 
what else could improve with those additional funds. I think it'd 
fair to outline how much does end up being spent on DConf and do 
a logical comparison of money being spent relatively. I know how 
you feel about owing people of the your community nothing though, 
so I guess it's a nice dream. Without those statistics to include 
with the argument it's pointless to argue with you, might as well 
be arguing whether unicorns exist.
